"Well, the larger meaning is that we've kind of stepped over the negative stepping stone of people saying that an African-American quarterback can't lead his team to a Super Bowl.What about Doug Williams and the Redskins?
Isn't this what Rush was talking about during the whole McNabb MNF thing?

The Keystone State should feel honored.
They will be the "doormen" opening the limo for the two teams that will be in the Superbowl.
Brady poise versus Vick improvisation. Should be a great 39 (prime number SB's are always interesting).

Isn't this what Rush was talking about during the whole McNabb MNF thing? My thought precisely. Everybody has an interest in a black quarterback succeeding (why, I can't say, unless they're closet bigots who see something novel in a black man successfully playing the position), and McNabb shows himself to be something of a hypocrite by indulging in the same thoughts for which he condemned Limbaugh. (I'll still be rooting for him, though.)

Vick improvisation.Should be exciting watching Vick improvise while staring at the sky from the prone position. If he improvises enough, he might avoid serious injury.

Why does the MSM obsess so over skin color?
When the Falcons beat my Rams, I didn't see Vick as a black quarterback, but as a super talented SOB who beat the living daylights out of my team's defense.

I thought civil rights were about being treated equally? If that's the case, why should he think this game so special because he and Vick are black? They should just be QB's.

Sorry PA peons, but it's gonna be a cold dark winter.
Vick will master a late game comeback in the early game.
And Bill will fluster Ben, while keeping Duce from the big play (The Bus will be a non-factor. He'll be lucky to have 20 yds on 8 touches)
Trust me... Punxsutawney Phil will be too depressed to even check for his shadow.

Sorry PA peonsI really don't care about the Stillers or their fans. Pittsburghers are the kind of folks you find in an M. Night Shyamalan movie.

African Americans are already OVER-REPRESENTED as quarterbacks in the NFL in comparison to their fraction in the US population. Hence, any BS about color in football is just that, BS!

I think the weather will be a real factor and keep the score pretty low. Something like:
Falcons 17
Eagles 21
To: bikepacker67
I was about to bet on the Falcons and the Patriots for the SB... I think you just cured me of that.

What the NFL needs are Pygmy quarterbacks. Who says a Pygmy can't win a Superbowl?

What about Brady and Rothlisberger. I guess they just aren't the "right" color.

What about Doug Williams and the Redskins? Is he a Republican? I don't know. Maybe that's why he's no longer black
Isn't this what Rush was talking about during the whole McNabb MNF thing?
This is exactly what Rush was talking about.
